The Scribbled Victims received its 50th review on Amazon!
“Not since Interview with the Vampire and Let The Right One In have the complexity and passion of immortality, love, and death been so masterfully captured in the written word. I will voraciously consume the rest of the series. Perhaps, drink them up.”
Thank you Kirsten Mullins of Kennesaw, Georgia for reading my book and leaving me such a great review! I hope you like the sequel when it comes out next year!

One of my most loyal readers, Courtney McDaniel, who is also an artist and bassoonist created the first fan art I have seen from The Scribbled Victims! I was so happy! Here is Courtney’s rendition of Orly Bialek!

I should have posted this back on September 22, but it has not yet become a habit of mine to post to this blog. Anyhow, after 22 months of writing, I finally finished the full draft of Scribbling The Eternal. I was in shock when I finished. I don’t think it really hit me until the next day, which is when I sent out the final eight chapters to my beta readers.

However, as I still have not fulfilled my dream of writing for a living, I still have a day job that often leaves me mentally drained at the end of the day, and so writing every single day is not something I have been able to master myself.
The main reason I think it is important to write every day is

I’m so close to finishing Scribbling The Eternal, the sequel to The Scribbled Victims, but I’ve hit a wall and her name is Mirela Cobalcescu. She’s begun behaving in ways I didn’t see coming.
Let me explain. When I write, I don’t write completely alone. My characters do a lot of the writing for me. They do the things they want to do and say the things they want to say. Sure I created them but from there my job is mostly to place them in situations and then allow them to be true

Today I relaunched my author website. The prior version of tomoguchi.com had been built on Joomla by a web designer, and though I was happy with it, making updates to the site always required me to contact the web designer. The site I launched today was built using Bold Grid which is a WordPress.org website builder. I’m very happy with the results and am also very happy to be back on WordPress as I have a lot of experience using it. But the best part of having this new site is that it will i<
